Photoset - Black and White Nudes

I recently had my first shoot with the fabulous Georgia, and it was one I had been looking forward to for quite some time. Back in June 2022, a model friend of Georgia's who I had shot with recommended me to her, ...

Photoset - Black & White Nudes on Location

On the run up to my most recent shoot with the fabulous Megan, I spent a fair amount of time driving around scouting for locations. Most of them were places I had been to before, but not for several years, and I wanted to check that they would all still be suitable for a shoot.

One such pla...

Bonus Photos

I know some of you are fans of the stunning Tilly and have asked me to post some more images. These are the last two sets from a shoot I did with her a while back.

Some photographers will do a shoot and then send 20-30 edits a few weeks later. I tend to drip feed the sets, so that the model...

Photoset - Black and White in the Studio (Part 1)

I recently had the absolute pleasure of my first shoot with the stunning Josie. She was only here for a few hours, but in that time we managed to produce a lot of beautiful images of her, both in black and white and also with a red paper roll backdrop. Josie is a complete natural in front of the ...

Photoset - Nobu Hotel Photoshoot

As I mentioned at the end of last month, I recently had the privilege of shooting with the stunning Leona, who was down in London from Manchester for a few days and had booked a room in the Nobu Hotel, Shoreditch. The room was a little on the small side, but had fabulous floor to ceiling windows,...

Some Lighting Diagrams

I prepared these some time ago, using a package called Set.A.Light 3D. I still have quite an old version of it, courtesy of a friend, so I'm not sure how many new features are in the latest version. It's an ok package, as it can be used to trial lighting set ups prior to a shoot. However, where I...

Photoset: "Mixtape"

As promised last month, here is the full set of images from the project I have titled "Mixtape", featuring the stunning Sian. You can read my explanation about the idea here. I am considering releasing a...

Hot Off The Press

I had my first shoot with Leona last week. She was down in London and had booked a hotel room for a couple of nights, and as I was due to be shooting in London with another of their models on that day, her agency asked if I would like to shoot with Leona as well. I had never shot in a hotel room ...

Photoset - Natural Light with Sophie

I recently had my first shoot with the awesome Sophie, a model I had been wanting to shoot with for quite some time. These are just the first handful of images from our day of shooting!

Photoset - Queen of Hearts

Back in June I had my first shoot with the fabulous Tegan. I had been looking forward to this one for quite some time - Tegan is a very talented artist and as such has a very creative mind, which is like gold dust to me. I love coming up with ideas and concepts, even if sometimes I find it very d...

Photoshoot - Paparazzi with Tayla

I'm back from holiday and getting back into the groove of shooting and editing now. Apologies for the break being longer than I had suggested it would be, I needed a bit more of a break from social media than I had anticipated.

This is a set I shot with Tayla on Saturday. We hadn't done a s...

Photoset - Rural Double Denim

I posted recently to say that Meg had come down to mine for two days of shooting. I had hoped to do a lot more location work with her but the weather gods were not smiling on us for much of those two days. However, on the first afternoon she was here the forecast suggested we had a two-hour windo...

Photoset - Red Light

A while back I had my first shoot with the stunning Suzi. When models arrive at my place for a shoot we invariably sit and chat for a while - it breaks the ice, settles any nerves and gives the model a chance to relax after their journey. I am told, and I firmly believe myself too, that it is one...

Photoset - Black and white portraits with Tayla

Last time Tayla came to shoot, we didn't have much of a plan. But for shoots with a models who I know as well as I know Tayla, this is rarely something that bothers me. What I did know was that I wanted to do more portraits with her in black and white, but with a softer lighting set up that I nor...

Teaser - Mixtape

A little insight into how my brain works, and doesn't work...

Back at the end of February, I was planning a shoot with Sian, a model I had worked with several times last year but who had then been out of the country for six months working. I had a couple of ideas that I really wanted to do ...

Studio Shoot BTS Timelapse Video

The stunning Meg Farmer recently journeyed down to my place for two days of shooting. I had planned for two days of outdoor location shooting, but unfortunately the weather had different ideas. We managed a couple of hours in a local field and wooded area before the rain started and then headed i...

Photoset - Colour Sheer

I had a couple of requests for more images from my recent shoot with the stunning Tilly. So here they are! Enjoy!

Photoset - Natural Light with Sasha

If you've not yet checked out Sasha's Instagram then why one earth not? She's a fabulous and fun model to shoot with, and is relaunching her own subscriber site in less than a week.

Photoset - Golden Girl

I think I have mentioned in a previous post that Sian had been abroad in the Caribbean for a few months and was worried about her tan lines and how they might ruin our images. I assured her that most of my ideas for our first shoot following her return actually involved her tan line and that I wa...

Photoset - Black and White Sheer

Yesterday Megan recently posted one of these images on her Instagram, stating in the caption that it was a crime that she had not posted it until now. I then realised that I had never posted them on here either! Another crime! 

The first five images were taken using natural light. The ...

Shibari Shoot Part 1

I recently had my first shoot with the fabulous Misty. Whilst we were planning the shoot, Misty asked if I would be interested in trying some shibari, and when I asked who would do the tying she said it is usually the photographer. This is something totally new to me, but she sent me a tutorial v...

Photoset - First Shoot with Sasha

I recently had my first shoot with the fabulous Sasha Taylor, a model I had wanted tom shoot with for quite some time, and I'm very happy to say that we are already talking about our next shoot. I covered a range of styles with Sasha, starting with my natural light black and white style, then mov...

Photoset - Red on Red

Anna was the first model I paid for a shoot, back in November 2018, and we have been shooting together ever since. I worked out quite early on that if I wanted to develop a portfolio which would attract models to collaborating with me on a TF basis, then I should pay a few models for their time. ...

Natural Light Photoset with Tilly

I have had a few messages recently asking for more images of Tilly, and I was fortunate to have another shoot with her a few weeks back. Tilly has often said how much she likes my natural light, black and white images and I realised the day before the shoot that I had only ever created one small ...

Photoset - Window Light

As promised earlier this month, here is the first set of images I made with the stunning Sian at Burford Manor, Kent. We spent pretty much the whole day only using the natural daylight or the lights in the various rooms we shot in. This was very different to how I have been shooting for the past ...

Photoset - Black and White Sheer

I recently had the pleasure of shooting with the stunning Carolin. As I do before all of my shoots, I sent Carolin a handful of pdfs: a montage of my b&w images; a montage of of colour images; and a pdf of inspiration images. Carolin identified two specific images that she loved -  a mod...

Photoset - Black & White Implied

Prior to my last shoot with Tayla, she had asked if we could do some more black and white image and in reply I sent her an image of Lily-Rose Depp that had been featured on the front cover of I-D magazine (I have included it above). You will see one image that is similar to the inspiration image,...

Photoset - the Tarantino Top

I've just this minute finished editing this set of the beautiful Katie Cooper, and I thought I would pop it straight onto my Patreon. I bought this top off Vinted some time ago and it was a few quid well spent, as it has been used for quite a few shoots, and there's plenty more life in it yet! 2023-05-11 19:54:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Photoset - Suntan and Blue Jeans

I realised as I uploaded a post earlier today that I had forgotten to upload the promised "Part 2" of the denim and suntan set I made with Sian. So here it is!

The tones are slightly different from the first set. I had finished a few of these and then realised that whilst I was happy with t...

Sneak peak from a shoot with Sian

Yesterday I had the pleasure of an eight hour shoot at Burford Manor in Kent, with one of my absolute favourite models, the stunning Sian. I took 1200+ images, and I think I am going to be editing them for months to come (I will will space them out as Sian will soon be out of the country for six ...
